There is not an easy way of not inviting people who feel they’re entitled to being invited, and letting them know! This way isn’t going to make anyone feel like they’ve found a good solution. Anyone who would send one of these, doesn’t have any manners, so why not just not send the invitation?

Tue, 22 Jan 2013 15:30:19 +0000http://blog.timesunion.com/weddings/?p=1165#comment-5699My husband had to tell at least one person she wasn’t invited after she asked when she was going to get her invitation (ballsy), but these notes are just mean-spirited. To me it’s like grade school children taunting the odd-man-out, “Hey we’re having a party but you can’t come! Neener!”

Mon, 21 Jan 2013 16:26:28 +0000http://blog.timesunion.com/weddings/?p=1165#comment-5696When my husband and I were planning our very small ceremony (only 24 attending) we felt it necessary to write letters to our family members (aunts and uncles) that would not be invited. Of course we didn’t word it that way. We simply wrote (in hand written letters) that we had decided to have a small intimate ceremony with a large party a few months after where we would invited all of our family and friends. We explained to everyone how much they meant to us and why having a small ceremony was a choice we made and we hoped they could respect that. Our families did tell us that had we not written them letters explaining why they were not invited they would have been MORE hurt.

They’ll know they’re not invited when they don’t get an invitation (and when inquiries before then are met with “well, we’re really on a budget, and sadly, we can’t invite everyone we’d like to…”).

A nice, gentle way to let someone know they will not be invited while making the impression that you would have liked to have them there. A note in the mail is very tacky & hurtful.
